NOISY BLACK
Another night of confusion for the sinners. They don't know it, but their last day is fast approaching. The converts can feel it, can know it in their bones that soon enough it will be time to release the converts. It isn't a good feeling, though; in their more lucid state, there's something very ominous about that certainty. Sinners Again all sinners are fed by the converts overnight. The crying girl is gone, though; instead, there's the sound of constant static that the converts cannot hear but assure you--when they're brainwashed enough--is a very good sign. There's an intense amount of lethargy pressing down on the sinners, and at this point the confusion has extended to the point that it's difficult at times to be certain if your body wasn't always like this, if you weren't always in this cell, if this isn't where you belong. Talking to others helps--even the converts, in certain circumstances... Converted Feeding the sinners, not letting them run around free outside of their cells, and not touching the top floor or trap door are all the brainwashing can permanently keep you from doing at this point. You may be coming across as a bit erratic to the sinners: sometimes, the brainwashing stays your tongue or makes you speak honeyed words of the conversion process, but sometimes you're a wreck of confused but more true statements. You can't quite manage a calm, ordered conversation with the sinners, but it's clear things are starting to fall apart for you. Of course, it's also clear that this won't last much longer. You must think of a way to get the sinners out. You can feel tomorrow night will be the last night. Before then, you must come up with a way to get the sinners out. Test the limits of your brainwashing carefully. Outsiders There's another message from @andromeda this evening: I have changed the origin point of the trap doors. I have reopened communications. You must convince @ADMIN to reboot the system and open the origin point trap door. You must convince @ADMIN there is an emergency. If you don't, they won't be able to get out no matter what. Looks like this part is up to you. Converted who are exploring or testing their brainwashing may use this comment for information. Outsiders who are speaking to @ADMIN may use this comment; note that @ADMIN may not respond, especially at first. The mingle log for this portion of the event is here. The network post is here; please use and heed warnings.

[ He was told to do something and he's...a robot, right? Or something like that. He feels like he's been waiting a long time. Maybe he's always been awaiting these orders. ]

There is an emergency. Reboot the system and. Open the origin point trap door.

Your life sign readings are erratic.

I have life signs?

[ That's news to him. ]

Yes. You are alive.

Oh.

[ He's not sure what to do with that. ]

There is an emergency. Reboot the system and open the origin point trap door.

This course of action is potentially highly dangerous.

They won't be able to get out if you don't open the door. It's an emergency.

[ Surely repeating it will be more convincing? ]

We are acquiring evidence to decide the best course of action.

What evidence do you need? Can I help?

We are currently unable to obtain up-to-date information of the building you are in.

[ He immediately switches his tablet over to video. It shows him, blank expression staring at the tablet, his head sawed open and with clockwork pieces replacing parts of his brain. The top of his mechanical arms are in view as well, until he flips the tablet over. In a series of jerking motions in time with the ticking in his head, he 'pans' the camera to show his cell. Beyond the bars are other cells, although most of the people inside are tired lumps murmuring to themselves.

Sylar is tired, too. So once the pan over the bars is complete, he flips the tablet around. ]

That's all I can see.

We have no records of your surgery. This is an unauthorized adjustment to an industrial building. It is not zoned appropriately to act as a prison.

Surgery?

[ He blinks a few times, unsure of what she's talking about, then unsure of anything. What was he supposed to do? -yes, that's right. ]

There is an emergency. Do you...need more evidence?

We will perform a system reboot tomorrow night. This is the soonest it can be done.

[ Success! He has accomplished his task.

That done, he immediately hangs up. Time for more staring at the bars and uncomfortable dozing in a standing position. ]
